I ♥ masquerade masks. They look so classy and old world. I soooo wish I had a masquerade ball to go to this Halloween. If I were running a restaurant I'd have a masquerade ball open to the public on Halloween and charge a specific admission fee. AND I'd wear one of these to the event!

Sundries and Plunder make the most GORGEOUS handmade masks. All cut, tooled and sculpted from a single piece of leather! Then hand painted front and back and sealed for added protection. Metallic paints are added for added shine and depth. Each mask is made to order, and because of the handmade nature, each is unique.

Like I said. AMAZING!

Sundries and Plunder is offering one very lucky Grosgrain reader one of their masks from their current selection. WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN THIS SUNDAY! So that you can get it before Halloween.

My favorite is their Raven leather mask (below).

And here's the really amazing part, they are totally affordable. I've seen masks like this retail for over $100. You can buy one of these for as low as $50.

Each mask includes ribbon for wearing or hanging. Sundries and Plunder is run by two sisters from Oregon, one living in Portland, and the other in Bend. Between being raised by creative parents, and the need to stay entertained during the Pacific Northwest's long rainy season, it was probably inevitable that the two would become two insatiable crafters.

Please note that all their masks can be made in adult or child size, so just let them know if you need a different size than what is posted.

AND HURRY. HALLOWEEN ORDERS MUST BE MADE BY TOMORROW TO ASSURE THEY WILL BE THERE IN TIME.

masquerade masks are always cool, but that these are handmade and painted makes the even better. I can see this hung on a wall with a collection of art work, but even more i want to put on a fancy evening dress and wear one to a party.

I just did a photo shoot with these masks. Sundries and Plunder is amazing. She works FAST and is super nice! Here is a photoshoot with her masks: http://susanbartolini.com/2010/09/autumn-masquerade-tea-party-boston-family-photographer/

These masks show incredible craftsmanship! I'm from the Pacific NW too, so I laughed at your comment about needing to find something entertaining to do when it rains for weeks on end during the winter. That's why I sew! sorainima@gmail.com
